Spring Snow and Fermentation

All those dry warm days earlier this winter are finally catching up with us as we have been getting dumped on this April. It is a great time to get some skiing in and apre ski with a cold beer. Silverton Mountain is open until the end of the month and the snow has been unreal. At the brewery, we are still opening on Friday and Saturday afternoons, circa 4 pm. We have been busy brewing beer and doing some remodeling to the pub. Earlier this spring we exposed the old 1880's brick that was covered in plaster giving the bar a much needed warmth. As far as beer goes, we have our beer on tap in Durango, Ouray, Ridgeway, and Montrose. If you would like to have our beer on tap at your favorite bar tell your bartender. Currently, I have a helles bock fermenting which is going to be called To Helles and Bock. It will be light in color with a bready malt profile. It's ABV will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 7%. It is lightly hopped with SAAZ and Palisade hops. It should be on tap in mid to late May. Also, we are anxiously awaiting our can debut which will feature our Red Mountain Ale and our Bear-Ass Brown. If you are in Silverton stop in and drink a beer with me.

Cheers,
Brian
